Berggruen Institute
The Berggruen Institute is a think tank based in Los Angeles.
Berggruen Institute was founded in 2010 by Nicolas Berggruen and Nathan Gardels to research and publish on topics related to governance, economics, geopolitics, and technology.
In 2014, the Institute established The WorldPost, an online publication in a joint initiative with HuffPost and later The Washington Post.
In 2015, the Institute created its Philosophy and Culture Center to research the philosophical foundations of global political systems. In the same year, the Institute established the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy & Culture and a fellowship program to sponsor scholars to do research at major universities in China, the United Kingdom, and the United States for two years.
The Council on the Future of Europe is a committee focused on policy and public debate concerning European integration. In May 2013, the council held a "town hall" meeting endorsed by the French President Francois Hollande, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, and Italian labor minister. The council, along with Germany’s labor minister, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed an investment, training, and jobs program for Europe. The program eventually became a part of European policy in January 2015 when European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker proposed the 315 billion euro Investment Plan.
The Think Long Committee for California is a bipartisan group that develops methods for improving governance in California. In November 2011, the Committee published its report, A Blueprint to Renew California. In 2014, the committee supported SB 1253, "The Ballot Initiative Transparency Act", which was approved on September 28, 2014. The committee also supported Proposition 2 in 2014, which established a "Rainy Day Fund" to allocate a percentage of annual revenue toward state debt and to safeguard against economic downturns.
The Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture is an annual award established in 2016 by the Berggruen Institute. It awards US$1 million to thinkers whose ideas have shaped human self-understanding and advancement. An independent jury selects the laureates each year.
Recipients include philosopher Charles Taylor for modern identity; Onora O'Neill for ethics and international justice; Martha C. Nussbaum for emotion in moral and political philosophy; Ruth Bader Ginsburg for gender equality in law; Paul Farmer for public health and human rights; Peter Singer for effective altruism; Kojin Karatani for interdisciplinary scholarship, and Patricia Hill Collins for intersectionality and social justice.
